I know this is almost a year-old change. The question I have is - what should one do when using an external toolchain that doesn't have ld.bfd provided? I know these days with gold vs. BFD linker, it's common to have ld.bfd, but there could be exceptions... Should this assignment be conditional, so it's easier to override from local.conf or distro? -- Denys -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
